Victoria Sponge Cupcakes
Any kind of food in mini is cute right? So I decided to make a mini version of the English classic, Victoria Sponge. They were delicious. So light and fluffy!
Ingredients
110g butter
110g golden caster sugar
110g plain flour
1tsp baking powder
1tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
Preheat oven to gas mark 6 and grease a 12 hole muffin tin.
Cream together the butter and sugar, then beat in the two eggs. Sift the flour & baking powder into mixture. Finally, add the vanilla extract.
Bake in the oven for approximately 17 minutes.
Remove from oven once they are slightly golden and a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool slightly.
Run a knife around the edges of the pan and gently tip the cakes out onto a wire cooling rack. Leave to cool.
Cut the cakes in half and leave to cool until they are completely cool. Whisk the double cream ( I used about 132ml, half a tub of double cream.). Spread the bottom half of the cake with strawberry jam, pipe the cream ontop (I put the cream in a plastic bag and snipped a little hole in the corner). Put the top of the cake ontop and voila! Victoria Sponge Cupcakes!
